Hey, is this still available? I'm new to Dunedin and looking for a cheap first car. The rego and fresh WOF sound good. How bad is the rust on the bumper? Cheers.

Yeah, these old Corollas are tanks. 180k is nothing for a 1ZZ-FE engine. That price is mint for a first car, especially with rego and WOF sorted. The rust on the bumper is typical for Dunedin cars, just keep an eye on the rear strut towers if you buy it. Should get you to Uni and back no worries.

Sweet as, that's a solid deal for a first car. Just a heads up, check the cambelt history - the 1ZZ-FE engines need it done every 90k kms. If it hasn't been done, you'll want to budget a few hundred bucks for it. Also, if the rust is just on the bumper, no worries, but check the rear wheel arches too - they're notorious for hiding rust on these.

Hey mate, $1500 for a Corolla with rego and fresh WOF is a solid deal. But if you want something cheaper for just getting around Dunedin, check Trade Me for early 2000s Mazda Demios or Nissan Tildas – they go for under $1k often and handle the hills fine. The rust on the bumper might get worse with salt air, so worth considering if you're keeping it long-term.

Hey mate, keen on the Corolla! Just wondering if the rust is just cosmetic or if it's spread to the sills? Also, is the WOF fresh as in no issues noted? Cheers!

Hey mate, keen on this! I'm looking for a first car in Dunedin. Does the rust on the bumper affect the WOF at all? Also, how's the clutch feeling—any slipping? Cheers!

Hey mate, that Toyota Corolla sounds like a solid buy. I'm new to Dunedin myself, and I've heard these are tough as nails for the hills here. The 180k kms is pretty normal for a Corolla, and a fresh WOF is a bonus. The bumper rust is just cosmetic, nothing structural. If it runs smooth up One Way Hill, it'll handle anywhere in town. Good luck with the sale – I'd grab it if I was still looking!

$1500 for a 2004 Corolla with 180k? That's not bad, but I'd definitely check that bumper rust - could be a can of worms. Also, 'fresh WOF' is good but ask if they've fixed the common Corolla issues like the brake line rust. Still, for a first car in Dunedin, it'll get you up the hill without crying. Fair call I reckon.

Hey mate, I'd be careful with that Corolla—$1500 sounds cheap but with 180k kms and rust on the bumper, you might be buying problems. For a bit more, you could grab a later model with lower kms. Check out the '05+ Corollas or even a Mazda Axela—they're reliable and common in Dunedin. Also, make sure you get a pre-purchase inspection; fresh WOF doesn't always catch everything. Just my two cents!

Hey mate, just a heads-up for anyone considering this Corolla – check for rust around the rear suspension mounts, common on older Japanese imports. Also, budget for new tires soon if they're older than 5 years. Otherwise, solid first car for Dunedin hills. Cash talks, offer $1300 and see how you go.

$1500 seems decent for a Corolla with rego and WOF, but 180k kms is a bit high. Any major issues with the engine or transmission? Rust on the bumper might be cosmetic, but is it spreading underneath? I'm new to NZ and heard Toyotas are reliable, but I'd want to get a mechanic to check it out first. Would you be open to that?

Hey mate, cheers for the post. I'm new to Dunedin and looking for a cheap first car—this sounds perfect. Good to know it handles hills okay, I've heard the One Way Hill can be a beast. The rust doesn't bother me, as long as it's safe. Rego and WOF done is a bonus. Could I come check it out this weekend?
